The room was in need of repair. The shower door did not close and therefore water puddled outside the door. The floors and doors were in need of a deep cleaning. Housekeeping did not service the room on the 2 nd day of our stay. We stay d 4 days and the bed linen was not changed. The toilet needs attending as the flush mechanism was defective. The hotel and restaurant staff were exceptional. Both friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was wonderful and would stay again.

1 bedroom suite was great. A bit warm as it was south facing but comfortable with fans and open windows. Had everything we needed for a three night stay. Ate our dinners out but kitchen was well supplied for breakfast lunch utensils.
